Their sum can be both equal, or greater. If you have 3/8 and 6/8, you would get 9/8 or 1 and 1/8. Which is greater than 1. Also if you add 2/6 and 4/6, you get 6/6 or 1. proving that both are possible.
Step-by-step explanation:
3 is the correct answer
We are first ask to translate this equation. So using the correct notation...
3X-9=6x6/4
We can also solve it.
3x-9 = 6x6/4
3x-9 = 36/4
3x-9 = 9
3x = 18
x=6
answer: X=6
To find the total amount Mrs. Johnson gave away, you need to know how much she gave the son. Because the ratio of the money given is 5:6, the amount of money he received has to be 5/6 of the money the daughter received.
So, the son received 5/6 of 2400.
To find this, multiply 5/6 x 2400 to get 2000.
The daughter received 2400 and the son received 2000, so the total amount Mrs. Johnson gave away is 4400 dollars.
